about

The
guitar trio of Otomo Yoshihide, Keith Rowe and Taku Sugimoto, recorded
live in three takes in London. Taku is the centrifugal force here, but
his much-less-is-more playing style doesn't cramp the others. Keith's
tabletop, detuned guitar extends his work with AMM into new territories
of texture while Otomo's exploded jazz stylings bring the faintest whiff
of lyricism to the most abstracted of improvisations. A heady cocktail
which amply demonstrates how far the guitar can be extended by three
living masters of the instrument.
